lMPROVEMENT IN BINDING ATTACHMENTS FOR HARVESTERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 110,841, dated J auuary10, 1871; antedated January 7. 1871.

To all whom it may concern: A

Be it known that we, ABRAHAM FREED and JONATHAN SNOOK, of La Porte, inthe county of La Porte, in the State of Indiana; have invented certainImprovements in Attachment Binders to Grain-Reapers, of which thefollowing is a specification.

. Our invention consists in forming a body of any suitable material tobe worked in connection with the reaper to which it is attached. Thisbody is placed on wheels, and the hinders occupy it. The grain isdelivered from the reaper into the vehicle against the pins, when thebinders pick it up andplace it upon the tables of the rear corners ofthe vehicle, bind it, and throw it out. By this arrangement the hindersride instead of walk, performing their labor with much more ease, withgreater rapidity, and therefore more economically. Attached to thisvehicle are two upright rods, to which the awning or covering isattached. These are adjustable, so that the awning or covering can beraised or lowered, and in cloudy weather, when not needed as aprotection from the sun, may be taken off.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of amachine-+0111 invention. Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the same.
